Choose your class wisely in this new Brink trailer

Typically, choosing a class in a first-person shooter simply means you pick what type of weapon you want to use, or how you want to approach a level. Sometimes those classes have attributes that can help the team, but it is usually just a matter of preference. In Spalsh Damage and Bethesda’s upcoming game Brink, choosing the correct class will determine the success or failure of a mission.

In the video below, the various class types are highlighted, as are the attributes for each class. During missions, you will be able to see the number of each class your team currently has. Each character class will offer their own weapons, and classes can be changed between lives. The classes are:

Soldiers- Using explosives, soldiers are needed to complete demolition missions. This class can also refill teammates’ ammo and increase the amount of ammo a teammate can carry.

Operatives- Operatives are needed to complete “hack” objectives. They can disguise themselves as fallen enemies, and can remain disguised until they attack (or are attacked). They can also see, and mark enemy traps.

Engineers- This class can remove enemy traps, and complete repair and construction objectives. They can also augment teammates’ weapons, and plant or defuse landmines.

Medic- The medic is needed to heal and revive VIPs in escort missions, as well as teammates.

Check out the four multiplayer classes of Brink on May 10, when the game is released for PC, PS3 and Xbox 360.

3 Xbox Game Pass games you need to play this weekend (May 3-5)
Senua in Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice.

Another weekend is upon us, and you're probably looking for some games to kill time with over the course of it. We're in a bit of a lull right now ahead of a flurry of releases starting next week, so it's a great time to dip back into the Xbox Game Pass catalog and check out some games that you may have missed. There are three games in particular that I think you should check out this weekend if you're looking for something to play.

One is an unsettling adventure that's getting an Xbox-exclusive sequel later this month. The next is a finely animated roguelike indie that recently made its way to Microsoft's gaming subscription service. Finally, there's a relaxing adventure that gives players a lot of freedom, yet is short enough to beat in a weekend. If you're having trouble deciding what to play this weekend, give one of these games a shot.

3 underrated PS Plus games you should play this weekend (May 3-5)
The main character of Tales of Kenzera: Zau stands with two elemental items.

PlayStation Plus Premium and Extra have been around for almost two years, and during that time the subscription service has established itself as an ample competitor to Xbox Game Pass. That means there is a wealth of great games for PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 owners to check out if they're looking for something to play this weekend. I think PS Plus subscribers should be looking toward some of the more underrated games in the subscription service this weekend too.

I have three particular picks in mind. The first is an enjoyable Metroidvania that came to PS Plus' game catalog when it launched just a couple of weeks ago and deserves a lot more attention than it's getting. After that, there's an action-platformer that pays homage to series like Ninja Gaiden that you should check out before it leaves the catalog. Finally, there's a PS2-era Star Wars game that fills the niche a recently canceled game would have.

If you’re not using PlayStation Stars, you’re missing out
Three phone screens with the PlayStation Stars app.

I wouldn't blame you if you forgot PlayStation Stars existed. In fact, I would guess the majority of people out there have no idea what that even is, but PlayStation's reward program deserves more attention than it's getting.

Launched in the summer of 2022, PlayStation Stars is a program meant to reward players for engaging with the PlayStation ecosystem. You can take on challenges to earn digital collectibles and, more importantly, coins that can be redeemed for games, store credit, and some premium in-game currencies.
